What Customers Are Saying

Customers are divided on this shovel. Most praise its lightweight fiberglass handle and affordability for occasional light gardening, noting it reduces fatigue and works well for small tasks. However, many report the shovel breaks, bends, or fails on first use when encountering rocks or roots, with the handle snapping or blade bending under minimal stress. Some accept this fragility as a trade-off for the low price, using it only for loose soil work. Overall, reviewers recommend it strictly for light, non-demanding tasks, not for moderate or heavy digging.

Blade bent in half from normal use

Would Not Recommend

I incorrectly assumed shovels were basically all the same before buying this. I pushed down on the shovel with my foot to dig into the dirt and it bent in half running into a root.

It broke after the 3rd use. Right where the handle joints to the spade. Looks like the same issue others had too.
